Jerusalem is such a unique city that three religions intersect here. For tourists, this news is good because they will discover the diversity of cultures, architecture and spiritual mysteries.

Old Town– we will walk through the Jewish quarter, the Christian quarter, and touch the memories of representatives of all three faiths. Each quarter of this ancient district is different in its own way.

Mount Zion is located south of the Old City of Jerusalem. At the time of the Savior Zion was within the city walls. The mountain is mentioned in the Old Testament as a place chosen by God. It was here, in Zion, that King David, having conquered the city of Jebus, erected a palace where he transferred the Ark of the Covenant. Here is the religious synagogue named after David. Nabi-Daoud Mosque.

The Path of Sorrow (Via Dolorosa) – here we will take a walk along the last journey of Jesus Christ in freedom. It passes through the neighborhoods of Christians and Muslims, thanks to which you can see a bizarre combination of different cultures.

Church of the Holy Sepulcher – a key sacred site in Christendom. The temple is divided by six currents within Christianity.

Western Wall – the most important shrine for the Jews, a place of memory of the First and Second Temples and dreams of the Third Temple. It also plays a vital role because of the memory of the victims of repression.

There are also several quarters in which Jews, Arabs, Christians and Armenians live.

The Tower of David, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the preserved Roman shopping street, the Wailing Wall and many other sights of Jerusalem are open for tourists.

Way of the Cross. Via Dolorosa

On the way from the Roman praetorium to Calvary passed the mournful path of Jesus Christ.  Fourteen forced stops were made along the way, due to circumstances stopping the sad procession, now called stations. Small churches or chapels were built on the site of the first ten stations. The remaining four can be seen in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Having walked along the Way of the Cross, you can see and feel what Jesus had to endure.(In the excursion you will visit the last 5 points)

Wailing Wal

The Western Wall or the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is the wall preserved after the destruction of the First and Second Temples of the Jews. The Arabs, who saw how the Jews grieve over the destruction of the temple, called this place the Wailing Wall. Currently, there is a tradition: when you standing at the front of  Wailing Wall you can  make the most secret dreams. You can also put a note between the stones of the Wall with a cherished desire, which will certainly come true. When you are planning to visit the Wailing Wall, it should be remembered that this is possible only in modest clothing that covers the knees and shoulders.

Nabi Dowd Mosque

Nabi Daud Mosque is located on the top of Mount Zion in Jerusalem. It is part of a large religious complex.

Сегодня с гидом Сашей посетили замечательную екскурсию. Саша потрясающий расказчик. Время проведенное на более 6 часовой екскурсии прошло на одном дыхании. Ход екскурсии очень продуманный. Мы были полны эмоций и почти не устали. Очень рекомендую эту екскурсию с потрясающим гидом Сашей.

Добрый день. Вчера были с сыном на экскурсии в Иерусалиме. Пребываем в совершеннейшем восторге! Экскурсовод Александр просто великолепен! Он потрясающе интересно провел экскурсию. Чувствуется, что он обладает просто энциклопедическими знаниями о тех местах, о которых рассказывает. Мы с сыном влюбились в Иерусалим благодаря Александру. Когда экскурсия завершилась, мы очень расстроились, нам хотелось продолжения :) Спасибо компании Атлантис и Александру за чудесный день!

Если кто не знает - успех любого экскурсионного тура зависит на 90% от гида! (и только на 10% от того - куда именно вы едете). В нашем случае - случилось чудо: и место поездки, и гид Александр - оказались просто шикарными! Очень интересный рассказ (видно, что человек не просто знает о чем рассказывает, а искренне интересуется темой и старается заинтересовать экскурсантов). Кроме того - организация посещения мест и маршрут немного менялись по ходу экскурсии - для того чтобы по минимуму пересекаться с другими экскурсиями. В результате - практически во всех местах мы были практически единственными посетителями. Что позволило и узнать о месте побольше и сделать красивые фото без посторонних. Возможно - единственный минус - нашу группу "трех религий" объединили с группой "православный". С одной стороны - был больше упор на православные святыни (что хорошо). С другой стороны - мусульманские святыни были затронуты меньше чем хотелось бы (хотя наверное это придирка - Александр рассказывал всё - а ожидать что нашу группу пустят в Аль-Аксу - довольно наивно :) В общем - огромное спасибо за экскурсию атлантису и Александру лично!
